Explanation

A strong argument in a compare-and-contrast essay should support its claims with specific details and relevant facts. This evidence helps readers understand the similarities and differences being discussed and judge the argument’s reasoning. Emotional language is not a substitute for evidence, and an essay does not need to address every possible doubt.
